    Big vs. Small

      Ad Rant This is the simplistic theory of an industry that lives and thrives on simplification (of products, of brands): if your agency is small you are creative, your ideas sparkle like diamonds, you are so hot it hurts.

    If your agency is gargantuan, you are a slovenly dinosaur, Godzilla Incorporated, a coldbed of creativity, so entangled in red tape that it would make any bondage fan faint with arousal.

    Cursed by the heartbreak of unoriginality

      Dupliclaims Is it the adperson's worst nightmare to pitch a new line to a client only to find it's being used by their archrival? That's what Timothy R V Foster thought, so he started a database called ADSlogans Unlimited.
    It must be working. Every one of the top-10 London agencies checks proposed lines with him before the big spend.
    Now, each week, as a public service, ADLAND features Tim's selection of DUPLICLAIMS from the ADSlogans Unlimited database.
    If you know of any other users of this week's lines, please do not hesitate to mail Chief SloganMaven Timothy R V Foster.

      Gossip Iuma.com launched a contest where you can win a wad of cash -5000 USD - if you name your baby after their site. A proud father has already won.
    Iuma Dylan-Lucas was born to Jessica and Travis Thornhill last friday.
    "My wife liked the idea because the child's grandma said this baby would bring prosperity, and this contest could be what she was talking about," he said. "Plus, the kid will have a cool story when he grows up." Read more at CNN.
    Whats next? Nike Smith? Johnsson&Johnsson Johnsson? Actually, I am not at all suprised.

    More SAGgravation!

      Scoop/Info

    As if a months long strike with no resolution in sight isn't enough, now striking actors are facing the threat of synthetic scabs. The Hollywood Reporter, E! Online and Empire reported yesterday that Al Pacino will be staring with a computer-generated leading lady in his next film--"Simone."

    The disturbing part of this news for the acting community is that the CGI starlet isn't a "character" like Jar-Jar Binks or Roger Rabbit, but essentially an actress who just happens to be digital. A SAG spokesman noted that "an actor is losing his job."

      The Ad Game (politics) I was -as usual- minding my own BeesWax when a mail popped in for the commercial-archive It began with the Subject "a word of caution" which aroused my curiosity and continued: I assume that you have clearances from SAG and AFTRA where applicable for the commercials you are showing on your site.

    Ad plagiarism doesn't get more blatant than Global PC's theft of one of the most famous commercials in history-Apple Computer's "1984." DaBitch tipped me to this heist recently and I investigated. (Apple's "1984" can be found in the Commercial Archive and Global PC's ripoff is at Adcritic.com.)

    A shot by shot comparison of the two spots and an analysis of this criminally insane act can be found at commando.com.
